This year was a fun and exciting year I learned a lot thru the Gary Bailey School and a local MX clinic as well as some local fast guys. My season had some ups and downs literally I spent a lot of time on the ground but that is because I was moving to the next level and pushing at every race.
My season was a succes as I finished 5th overall in the 85cc 12-13 class and 13th in the Super Mini 12-15 class in Maryland's District #7. All of this could not have been possible without the support of my family, my mom was team cheer leader along with my sister who is my #1 fan, my dad was the team manager, team mechanic, team Rig driver and sometimes team cook. Thanks mom, dad and Courtney. But also we would not have been able to race with top notch equipment if not for the help of our sponsors. My bike was always in top performing condition and was always looking like a factory machine as well as myself. Many thanks go out to the follow companies for the generous support for the 2007 season.

A personal thank you to Skip Norfolk and Shawn Norfolk for their insight and support.

The Maryland State Championship was held at Budds Creek as it is every year and the racing was good and the track was really really rough. For the youth divisions there was a 3 moto format.
I did good in the 85 12-13 class posting 5-6-8 for a 6th overall. I had a hugh get off on a big step up in the 3rd moto while running 4th.
In the Super Mini 12-15 class I finished 9-9-9 for a 9th overall. In the second moto I got a great start and was running in the #2 possition when this guy cleaned me out. When I got up and running again I had dropped back to 13th and made my way back to 9th.
Over all I was a great weekend and we had a lot of fun with our friends.

The Motocross of Nations was the most awsome event I have ever been to. There were like 100,000 people there. My Dad went down on Tuesday to get a good spot for the motorhome, he was 4th in line and we had a great spot. There were people from all over the world that I met. I met this guy from Europe and he had the 1958 and 1964 Motocross des Nations races on DVD it was so cool seeing the guys on those old bikes. He was a team manager in the late 60 thru the late 70 for some Euro team. He was really a nice guy and he was good friends with THE MAN Roger Decoster.
I raced the SX on Friday and Saturday and the classes were packed, full gates and the racing was great. I did good finishing 11th in the 85 12-13 and 18th in the Super mini 12-15 I crashed both motos in the super mini.
The race on Sunday was the best Team USA kicked butt. My sister came with me and my Dad and she loved it too, she is 10 years old and rides a CRF50. We had the best time. My Mom stayed home she had to work.

Can wait to get started the first 3 races of the season have been cancelled due to bad weather. Frozen ground freezing rain and just down right cold weather. The District 7 Gold series starts at the end of March and the LL Area Qualifier is March 9-10-11th at Budds Creek and I can't wait.
Missed the Budds Creek Qualifier not ready, will make another area qualifier when we are in better shape and form in about a month.
Getting ready for gary bailey school on the 19th and 20th of March. You can never learn to much.
